Why HydX Partners with Owasys

Connectivity That Creates Business Value

Connectivity has become a strategic enabler for modern machines and industrial systems. What was once primarily used for tracking and basic monitoring now supports everything from remote diagnostics and over-the-air updates to predictive maintenance and data-driven product development.

At the same time, the requirements placed on connectivity solutions are increasing. OEMs and machine manufacturers need technologies that are secure, reliable and capable of evolving alongside their products. They also want to avoid vendor lock-in and maintain control over their own applications and data.

To meet these requirements, HydX partners with Owasys, a European developer and manufacturer of open Linux-based IoT gateways and edge computing platforms trusted in demanding applications across multiple industries.

What makes Owasys a valuable partner is the combination of technical excellence and a shared philosophy. We both believe in open solutions, long-term relationships and giving customers the freedom to develop products on their own terms.

Enabling Connected Products and Services

Building a connected product involves much more than selecting a gateway or communication device. The real value comes from integrating connectivity into products and services, enabling new functionality and turning data into actionable insights.

This is where the partnership between HydX and Owasys creates value. Owasys provides the connectivity platform, while HydX supports customers with application expertise, software development guidance, technical support and integration know-how.

“HydX brings strong application knowledge and technical expertise,” says Dámaso Orbe, Sales & Marketing Director at Owasys. “Together, we help customers accelerate the development of their own connected products and services, built on an open and flexible technology foundation.”

Open Technology Without Vendor Lock-In

One of the key strengths of Owasys is its open Linux-based architecture. Unlike proprietary platforms, it gives OEMs, system integrators and service providers full control over their applications and the freedom to adapt solutions as requirements change.

This flexibility makes it easier to reuse software across projects, add new functionality and extend product lifecycles without being dependent on a single supplier.

Our open Linux platform gives OEMs and system integrators full control over their applications. It provides the flexibility to adapt, expand and evolve solutions over time, without being locked into a proprietary ecosystem.

European Technology Built for Demanding Applications

Founded in 2002 by former Ericsson engineers, Owasys develops and manufactures its products in Europe. Since 2021, the company has been part of HMS Networks, the Swedish leader in industrial communication solutions.

For many companies, cybersecurity, supply chain resilience and long-term product availability have become increasingly important. European development and manufacturing provide greater transparency, stronger control and a trusted foundation for connected products.

Owasys technology is used in a wide range of demanding applications, including off-highway machinery, construction equipment, industrial systems and public transportation. The platforms are also deployed in defence-related and other mission-critical applications across Europe, where reliability and security are essential.

From Connected Machines to Better Decisions

While robust connectivity hardware is a critical foundation, creating business value requires more than selecting the right device.

As a technology partner, HydX helps customers leverage connectivity technologies within their own products and applications. Owasys gateways provide a secure and reliable foundation for connected solutions, enabling capabilities such as remote diagnostics, over-the-air software updates, fleet monitoring and operational insights.

Depending on customer requirements, HydX can support implementation, software development and integration efforts, helping organisations make the most of their connectivity investments while maintaining full control over their own applications and data.

The result is a flexible and future-proof foundation that helps manufacturers reduce downtime, improve service efficiency and unlock the value of machine data.

“Many OEMs are looking for ways to connect their products without becoming dependent on proprietary ecosystems or closed platforms,” says Henrik Pålsson, Chief Sales Officer at HydX. “Owasys offers an open and flexible foundation that gives our customers control over their own solutions, both today and in the future.”

By combining Owasys’ connectivity platforms with HydX’s expertise in electronics, software and industrial technology, customers can reduce development complexity while accelerating time-to-market.

A Partnership for the Future

As connectivity becomes increasingly important, manufacturers need technology partners they can rely on for the long term.

Through the partnership between HydX and Owasys, customers gain access to secure, open and future-proof connectivity solutions, combining proven European technology with local expertise in connectivity, software development and technical support. The result is more than connected machines – it is a foundation for smarter products, better service and stronger business performance.

Award-Winning Partnership. Proven Results.

HydX was named Owasys Top-Performing Distributor 2025, reflecting a long-standing partnership built on technical expertise, customer focus and a shared commitment to delivering secure, open and future-proof connectivity solutions.
